A Days of Our Lives alum has passed away, and he was young, too.
Variety Magazine reports that Cody Longo was found dead in his Austin, Texas, home on February 10. Longo was only 34 years old.
He last worked on Days of Our Lives in 2011, when he played a young version of Nicholas Alamain, the beloved nephew of popular villainess Vivian Alamain.
Longo has not been seen on canvas since 2011 and only appeared on Days of Our Lives for eight days, so some fans may not recall his appearances on the soap. Nevertheless, it is one of his most famous roles.
Nicholas was a popular and interesting character; he was Vivian's nephew but had been raised as her son for part of his life. She was so determined to retain custody of him that she threw his biological mother off a rooftop.

“I didn’t think about their age when I was thinking about who they were,” reveals “Grace and Frankie” costume designer Allyson B. Fanger. “I was thinking about who they were, and how they’d express themselves through dress.” Fanger has worked on all four seasons of this Netflix comedy about the title characters who become friends after their husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) announce they’re in love with each other. She made a conscious effort not to make Grace or Frankie “look like old ladies,” which “is very in-keeping with the times.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Fanger above.

After taking the game’s servers down for a spell of maintenance in the early hours of the morning, Visceral Games has release the first post-launch patch for Battlefield Hardline across all platforms, which targets spawn fixes, weapon balancing and general improvements.
Billed as update 1.02, the handful of fixes were detailed through EA’s official Battlelog channel, where players can find a platform-by-platform breakdown. Generally speaking, though, said update introduces a bevy of much-requested features to the shooter, including reducing the amount the screen shakes when being shot, as well as preventing crashes that occurred due to specific video cards on PC.
On the other hand, consoles owners can look forward to the introduction of the Rent-a-Server mode, allowing Fps fans to rent a selected server before hosting their own private matches replete with custom settings.

The streaming wars continue to escalate: James Franco has signed on to star in 11/22/63, Hulu’s previously announced nine-episode adaptation of the Stephen King novel. He’ll also be a producer on the project, which is from J.J. Abrams’s Warner Bros. TV–based Bad Robot Productions. Franco will play the central character in the show, a time-traveling English teacher named Jake Epping who heads back to 1963 on a quest to halt President Kennedy’s assassination. While 11/22/63 will be Franco’s meatiest TV role since 1999’s Freaks and Geeks, he’s done plenty of small-screen work since becoming a movie star, including guest turns on General Hospital, 30 Rock, The Mindy Project, and Nick at Nite’s Hollywood Heights. Though Hulu has produced some solid shows in recent years — most notably Hotwives of Orlando and the Seth Meyers–produced animated comedy The Awesomes — 11/22/63 represents the streamer’s first big prestige play,...

The two had sent mixed messages over the years, ever since Jason Bourne disappeared in the murky East River at the end of The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007, with the major roadblock being Damon’s insistence that a reluctant Greenglass direct, while Universal handed the franchise over to writer-turned-director Tony Gilroy.

Throughout it’s classic run however, Doctor Who wasn’t so lucky.

The first full trailer for Justin Simien’s much-anticipated feature directorial debut Dear White People is here. The 2014 Sundance Film Festival award winning film (U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent) is said to be based on Simien’s own experiences at a predominately white university, which centers on 4 black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular “African American themed” party thrown by white students.
The trailer made me a laugh a few times with its tongue-in-cheek style and humor; I will definitely be checking this one out. The film stars Tyler Williams (Everybody Hates Chris), Tessa Thompson (For Colored Girls), Teyonah Parris (Mad Men), and Brandon Bell (Hollywood Heights).

A full trailer has been released for writer and director Justin Simien's Sundance hit, Dear White People. I've heard a lot of fantastic things about this movie, which is a comedic satire about race relations in modern America. I really like the humor that I'm seeing in the trailer, and this looks like a really entertaining movie worth checking out. Here's a synopsis for the movie:

Possibly the most, let’s say, enigmatic actor of his generation, James Franco has been on our radar ever since his turn on the beloved but short-lived Freaks and Geeks.
On the notoriety of that role, he nabbed the title role in the TV movie James Dean (which earned him a multitude of honors, including an Emmy nomination).
To prove his versatility, he moved on to the big budget special effects of the Spider-Man movies, a crucial role in Milk, and an Oscar nod in 127 Hours.
Heading back to TV, he surprised everyone by taking a batshit role on General Hospital, and a multi-episode arc on Nick at Nite’s Hollywood Heights

The Sundance Film Festival may serve as a solid proving ground for wrenching dramas about to break into the big time – think Winter’s Bone, Beasts of the Southern Wild, or Fruitvale, and that’s just top-of-head, recent memory stuff – but the January fest also provides a venue for some very funny comedies with big star power and fresh ideas to bolster them. Sure, it’s easy to find plenty of tearjerkers in the festival’s stacked program, but lots of comedic talents also bring some lighter fare to the festival each year. Yet, that doesn’t always mean that what makes audiences giggle in Park City will translate to a mainstream crowd some months down the road – so here’s hoping that the latest satirical comedy hit from this year’s Sundance will win over bigger crowds when it hits theaters later this year.

And it's trouble for yet another Nickelodeon star: Cody Longo, who currently stars in the Nick at Nite show "Hollywood Heights," has been sentenced to alcohol education classes after being charged with a DUI. TMZ reports the 25-year-old former child actor was pulled over by cops in June after demonstrating suspicious driving behavior; he was then arrested and taken into custody in Los Angeles.
As part of the plea deal, Longo avoids jail time. In addition to alcohol education classes, the website reports, he will be expected to complete 10 Alcohol Anonymous classes and was sentenced to three years summary probation.
At the time of his arrest, Longo's publicist released a statement, saying, "This was an unfortunate misunderstanding. Cody takes it very serious as his focus is music and acting. He has a great team whom he was with the whole night, and we are taking the next steps legally to clear this up.
